Compost can help turn nutrient-starved dirt into rich, healthy soil where our fruits and vegetables can grow and thrive. How does compost help? By recycling organic material into compost we create healthy soils that produce healthier food and in many cases higher yields. It also reduces the need for fertilizer and pesticides, improves water quality and conserves water, as well as stores carbon in soil – helping to reduce climate change.
